LISTSERV upgrade scheduled June 9;
clean out old mailing lists

published May 31, 2005
K-State's LISTSERV service will be upgraded to the
newest version (14.3) on Thursday, June 9.
At five minutes after midnight, LISTSERV will be shut off; all the lists
and archives will be moved to the new version; and LISTSERV will be turned back on. The
new version should be ready for use by 8 a.m.
A description of the latest version
is on LISTSERV's website.
The most noticeable changes K-Staters will see is in the webpage appearance, which was tailored by
K-State's LISTSERV staff.
It also changes several things that can improve LISTSERV performance.
More about the new features will be in future issues of InfoTech Tuesday.
Last week, owners of K-State LISTSERV mailing lists were invited to try out
K-State's test version and provide feedback through June 3.
This is also a good time for list owners to review their lists and notify
listhelp@ksu.edu of lists that are no longer needed.
